Resource configuration method, apparatus, and system

Abstract

A resource configuration method, an apparatus, and a system are disclosed. The method includes: determining a reserved resource element (RE) in a resource unit, where the reserved RE is included in a reserved resource; and transmitting data on all or some REs other than the reserved resource.
